Look at the guidebooks online. What kind of questions relate to technology?
Do we have classes that taught us technology? What projects or skills did we learn? Are there overall strategies or responsibilities we need to structure technology?
Look at the Library Information Information specialist standards online. These can be especially helpful describing the strategies and responsibilities we need, that in turn can be understood as specific skills.
Read the State Standards!
After examining these two sets of guidelines, we can then brainstorm on all our experiences at work and in class to say how we can meet these standards.
All LIMS & MS syllabi include a section that relates actual assignments to standards.
Test strategy 1. Answer what you know. 2. Leave those that confuse, you there’s time. 3. Come back to these 4. Cross off the clearly wrong choices 5. Examine those left and look for something off about them. They usually fail for logical or some small reason unrelated to the actual question/standard.
